Corner View: l'aqua

I love this lake.
It is home.
I learned to swim here
I ditched school to sit on it's docks.
I kissed my first real boyfriend in its water
I have jumped in naked in the late summer night
with only the glow of stars
to light my path and screams and giggles to fill my ears.
I have watched fireworks reflect on its face.
I hopped in pregnant, letting my not yet born boy
feel buoyant
The lake has a earthy wonderful smell
that laps you up
and a cold that takes your breath away
It makes you feel alive.
I love this lake.
It is home.

I will be away from this space (and flickr) for the next few days so if I don't respond right away that is why. I hope to get around to your lovely spaces when I returen.

Be well friends!
